Note: English speakers turn on the captions and select english to see subtitles (go to settings, select captions and select english).

Vlisco Superwax fabric has always been part of the Congolese culture. It rhymes with quality, prestige, elegance and celebration. In a period when the Congolese market is full of a variety of brands and quality of fabrics (locally referred to as “LIPUTA” in singular and “MAPUTA” in plural), one might think that Vlisco Superwax has lost its position held for years... not at all. This documentary simply tells the story of Vlisco Superwax, narrating the past, the present and the future of Vlisco Superwax in the Congolese Society.
